Let's start by making a ratio comprised of the pieces of cheese to number of guests.

Ratio = 8 pieces of cheese : 10 guests

Now, the problem asks us to complete a ratio. We know the number of guests but not how many pieces of cheese are needed.

Incomplete Ratio = ? pieces of cheese : 30 guests

For every 10 guests, there are 8 pieces of cheese. 30 guests = 3 sets of 10 guests (10 x 3 = 30). So, 8 x 3 = 24.

Answer: 24 pieces of cheese

Hope this helps!
